LED-Backlit IPS Display
The high-resolution, 9.7-inch LED-backlit IPS display on iPad is remarkably crisp and vivid. Which makes it perfect for web browsing, watching movies or viewing photos. With iPad, there is no up or down. It's designed to show off your content in portrait or landscape orientation with every turn. And because it uses a display technology called IPS (in-plane switching), it has a wide, 178° viewing angle. So you can hold it almost any way you want and still get a brilliant picture, with excellent colour and contrast.
Multi-Touch
The Multi-Touch screen on iPad is based on the same revolutionary technology on iPhone. But the technology has been completely reengineered for the larger iPad surface, making it extremely precise and responsive. So whether you're zooming in on a map, flicking through your photos or deleting an email, iPad responds with incredible accuracy. And it does just what you want it to.
Thin and Light
One of the first things you'll notice about iPad is how thin and light it is. The screen is 9.7 inches measured diagonally. So overall, it's slightly smaller than a magazine. At just 0.68 kg (1.5 lbs) and 13.4 mm (0.5 inches) thin,1 you can use it anywhere. And a slight curve to the back makes it easy to pick up and comfortable to hold.
Up to 10 Hours of Battery Life
To maximise battery life, Apple engineers took the same lithium polymer battery technology they developed for Mac notebook computers and applied it to the iPad. As a result, you can use iPad for up to 10 hours while surfing the web on Wi-Fi, watching videos or listening to music.
Wireless
With built-in 802.11n, iPad takes advantage of the fastest Wi-Fi networks. It automatically locates available Wi-Fi networks, which you can join with a few taps. iPad also comes with Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, letting you connect to devices like wireless headphones or the Apple Wireless Keyboard.
3G iPad will also be available in a 3G model with superfast data speeds up to 7.2 Mbps.3 So if you're travelling, or you happen to be somewhere without a Wi-Fi network, you can still get a fast connection for surfing the web, downloading email or getting directions.
Performance
The A4 chip inside iPad was custom-designed by Apple engineers to be extremely powerful yet extremely power efficient. The performance is unlike anything you've ever seen on a touch-based device. Which makes iPad fantastic for everything from productivity apps to games. At the same time, the A4 chip is so power efficient that it helps iPad get up to 10 hours of battery life on a single charge. And iPad is available with a choice of 16GB, 32GB or 64GB of flash storage,4 giving you lots of room for your photos, movies, music, apps and more.
Connectivity
The dock connector port on the bottom of iPad allows you to dock and charge it. It also lets you connect to accessories like the iPad Camera Connection Kit and the iPad Keyboard Dock. You'll find many accessories designed to be compatible with the dock connector port.
Audio
The powerful built-in speaker produces rich, full sound, perfect for watching a movie or listening to music. iPad also comes with a headphone jack and a built-in microphone.
